The citizens worked manfully and but
for their heroic efforts the entire business

ashes. It is impossible to give the
names of the insurance companies and
the amounts of each loss, as most of the
policies are locked in safes and vaults in
the burnt district.

Murder In the PenItentiary,

The spirit of Edge6eld is not to be
broken even though the representative
from that county be surrounded BY. the
four gloomy walls of the Penitentiarry.
A wrong, real or imaginary, must be
punished regardless of time, circumstan-
ces or surroundings. At about 2 o'clock
to-day gang Of couvicts were at work
in the stone yard in the Penitentiary,
where granite is prepared for building
purposes. One of the convicts, named
Lyman Craig, representative from
Lancaster, lost plug of tobacco. When
he discovered his loss Craig made the
assertion that "the man who stole that
tobacco was a blank blankety blank"
10 Moore, Jet black and from Edgefeld,
took exception to Craig's remark, and
told him if he would repeat it be would
present him with two plugs. Lancaster
was not to be bulldozed by Edgefeld,
aud Craig reiterated his original decla-
ration. Upon the ground at Moore's
feet was piece of gaspipe three and
half feet long and one quarter inches
in diameter. Before Craig could realize
his danger Moore had seized the iron
pipe and dealt him a terrible blow just
above the right eye. Moore is q power:
full negro, and be struck Craig with all
his strength. The severity of the blow
may be better realized by the fact that
about q foot of the end of the pipe with
which Craig was struck was bent almost
at right ami gles with the other portion of
the weapon. The skull of Craig was
completely crushed, and it was some
hours before he showed any signs of life:
His condition is now very critical, and
he is not expected to live. After strik.
ing Craig Moore walked out of the yard
and called to DR.. Pope, the Penitentiary
physician, saying: Doctor, you had
better 20 in there and look after that
nigger I have killed. BE then
proceeded to Capt. Sligh and told him
about the quarrel. When asked why he
struck such hard blow Moore replied
that he wanted to kill the man, that he
struck him to knock off his head, and
that be would do it again on the same
provocation. He vas chained and con-
fined in dark cell. In November, 1885,
be was admitted into the Penitentiary
from Edge6eld to serve ten.year sen.
tence for arson.
Last year he dyed a suit of convict
striped overalls with blue ink and almost
succeeded in escaping from the chain
gang which was working on the Canal.
He has given more trouble than any
other convict who has been in the Peni.
tentiary for many years. A petition is
now in the Governors Office asking for
his pardon. If Craig dies, and the
physician thinks he will not live, the
superintendent will have Moore prose.
cuted for murder in the Richland Court.
Many years ago Lyman Craig was Es.:sa; sen;
assault, but Governor Thompson par.
doned him. In October, 1885, he was
returned from Lancaster under three
years sentence for attempting to com
nit the same crime.
